the journey begins
Hello, hello, and welcome! In this very first entry, I will answer many of the why’s behind the journey of nikk. Future entries may differ but today, I offer this FAQ-style blog. Enjoy!
what is the journey of nikk?
The Journey of Nikk is an audio journal podcast and digital journal detailing the musings of me, Nikki Harrison.
why are you doing this?
In pursuit of wellness. That’s the short answer. All that I’ve restricted myself from, the years of silencing my own voice and stuffing down my perspective and offerings that should have been released have caught up to me and are, in combination with a few other factors, affecting my mental health. So in pursuit of wellness, I’m doing something I’ve been dreaming of doing for literal decades. By being brave enough to use my voice and honest enough to speak truthfully, I’m hoping to discover a holistic wellness that permeates every area of my life. I pray the journal and podcast serve others but they absolutely will serve me and my wellness.

what do you hope to accomplish?
In this chapter of my life, I am committed to becoming the version of myself God originally designed. As a catalyst to this transformation, I will pursue wellness and adventure in ways I never gave myself permission to before. From the mundane to the more impactful, I am giving myself the permission, the grace, and the space to be all that I am so I can grow into all that I am meant to be. There is much to discover and remember ahead. I don’t have all the details sorted out at this moment but I have decided that’s ok. My prayer is that by sharing my revelations, insights, and musings along the journey, I show others that they too can (and should) choose to live bravely, be honest, and be well.
when can I listen/read?
New episodes of the podcast will be uploaded bi-weekly-ish on Fridays (with a bonus episode in between, from time to time). New entries will be added to the journal as written. That could be weekly, bi-weekly, shorter, or longer. I will allow the schedule to unfold as it does.
This journal will be a peek into my thoughts. The accompanying podcast allows me to process & share those thoughts in my own voice. Take a listen here. I will also share periodically on YouTube, Instagram, Threads, and other social platforms. I would love for us to get to know one another! Engage via socials or visit the contact page to get in touch.
I pray something you have read here inspires, empowers, or encourages you to be brave, be honest, and be well.
Until next time,
